Nate Gets Medieval

It was one of those things I thought I'd probably do at some point, but it happened Saturday. We celebrated Nate's 45th birthday at Medieval Times.

And, NO, we didn't lose some kind of bet! It was a man's promise to his little girl that led to our celebrating Nate's birthday by wearing paper crowns and eating food without utensils. To be honest, it was kind of like going to a sporting event. You're eating, screaming for your knight/team to win, and actually, it wasn't horrible!


It was difficult to understand what the different characters were saying. Not because I couldn't understand their medieval knightly accents, but the sound system could have been a little better.


We were sitting in the blue section. These guys, in the yellow section, came prepared to have the best time in the world:


If they gave an award to a group who was the most into this place, this would be them. I'm not sure if they were for real or just a little drunk. I'm sure there are people who go to MT often (read: more than once in a lifetime). Were these those folks? We also saw a few people who came dressed in Ren Fair garb.

Gabrielle claimed it was the best time she ever had. We had just been seated at our table and the show hadn't even started! Through the eyes of a soon to be 6-yr old, experiencing a live storybook Princess, King, knights and horses would be the most awesome thing ever, wouldn't it? It's nice she had the time of her life!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATE!
